1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Lanthipeptides are a class of ribosomally produced and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) that possess a variety of biological activities but typically act as antimicrobial agents (lantibiotics). Haloduracin is a lantibiotic that is composed of two post-translationally modified peptides, Halα and Halβ, which are biosynthesized from the precursor peptides HalA1 and HalA2 by their cognate lanthipeptide synthetases, HalM1 and HalM2, respectively. Coexpression studies of HalM1 and HalM2 with chimeric peptides consisting of the leader peptide of HalA1 and the core peptide of HalA2 (or vice versa) showed that the synthetases require both the cognate leader and core peptides for efficient processing. Investigation of the affinity in vitro showed that binding of the N-terminal leader peptide by HalM2 increases its affinity for the C-terminal core peptide. Thus, the two segments of the precursor peptide HalA2 synergistically bind to HalM2.
